This project aims to develop and validate bolted splice details for C-PSW/CF, a structural system designed for non-seismic regions like New York City and Boston. The focus is on areas where bolted ...

The offset shear strength is the shear stress endured by a material at the intersection of the shear stress versus the engineering shear strain curve, with a line parallel to a defined modulus and ...

As part of an analytical and experimental study on a proposed self-centering steel plate shear wall (SC-SPSW) system, the behavior of SC-SPSWs was developed investigated using one-third scaled ...

Mechanical fasteners, such as screws, bolts, pins and rivets, have been used for hundreds of years to assemble wood and metal structures. As composites have replaced other materials in structural ...

President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. In addition to mechanical tests used to determine material properties of composite materials, tests to determine structural properties are commonly performed on ...
